Update on my fed ex complaint. Basically they said it was delivered correctly. It clearly was not. And idk how many times or photos I have to provide that it wasn’t. There was a link to do a survey and I gave a poor score, bc I’m tired of the shit fed ex doesn’t. someone did drop my package off to my front door. I wish I could thank them and ask where it was.
I love a roundabout. Idk how people mess them up. They bring order to the world. Way better than a 4 way stop.
Realized that while I am technically off Christmas, I work Christmas Eve, and will be on call that night. The dude who is working on Christmas doesn't get in until Noon, so technically I am going to be on call all Christmas morning too. My on calls are not chill either, I sometimes have to do more work on call than I do during my actual shift. .
When a coworker, who has emailed you only a few hours ago, also DMs you to ask for the same thing. This is made exponentially worse when they acknowledge they know how busy you are but do this anyway AS IF IT DOESN'T CREATE MORE FUCKING WORK OR AT LEAST MORE OF A MENTAL LOAD BECAUSE NOW I HAVE 2 TASKS TO COMPLETE FOR YOU, MATT FROM SALES!!!
For a season devoted to candy canes and pepperminty stuff, there’s been an extreme lack of peppermint extract at just about every store I’ve been to the last week. I was gonna make a Christmas dessert involving peppermint, but it looks like that isn’t happening since every store I’ve been to doesn’t have it. And not even a “it was in stock but it’s sold out” thing. Like, they just didn’t even have it to begin with
On a general scale this is really a complaint about how poorly everything is made these days. But our dishwasher stopped working, just wouldn’t turn on. We did all this research to troubleshoot and basically it sounded like we were out of luck and would need to buy a new one. After a few hours of defeat, my wife decided to google some more out of wishful thinking. She came up on this random thread of comments somewhere (might’ve been reddit, idk), where one person was like “this happened to me. Use a blow dryer on the main button console. What happens is the moisture from the steam causes the console to stop working over time”. 30 seconds with a blow dryer and it’s working just fine again. Makes me mad because this stuff is either not being caught/anticipated in product testing, or it definitely is and Samsung is hiding this info and banking on the consumer to just buy a new one out of frustration
Getting up extra early on a holiday working from home to clear snow off my car and move it for plowing
Man I do not miss that lol. One year they plowed the parking lot of my apartment and literally buried every car. Everyone was out with shovels trying to dig their cars out
We have an annoying process where every 4 buildings in our complex has to move to an overflow lot for an hour, and then move back for the next set of buildings to have their spots plowed haha. And I'm in building 2, so the earliest... Need to be moved by 8 am, move back by 9 am, but I get up earlier so that all of the spots aren't taken because some people from other buildings break the rules and park overnight when they aren't supposed to.
Beating egg whites until they have stiff peaks with a hand mixer is a level of masochism I will never subject myself to again. This is taking a goddamn fortnight
Had dinner at my cousins last night. During dinner her new bf ripped a silent nuke that smelled like stale hard boiled eggs that got mixed in bowl of spoiled goat cheese and ginger. No idea how that smell could come from a human. He had a sideways smirk after he dealt it and we locked eyes after. A few people at the table gagged and were laughing about how terrible someone's gas smelled. Dude should've just owned it but didn't. Lost alot of respect for him.
There's a commercial to the tune of the "oh oh oh it's magic you knoooow" song but it's "o o o ozempic" and it feels so dystopian in a way I can't even articulate
The worst. I feel like every puzzle manufacturer should sell individual pieces for like <$1 Edit: I'm dumb and blind, where's the missing piece?
